Hangman (DC Comics)

The Hangman is a fictional character, a supervillain in the DC Universe and an early enemy of Batman featured in Batman: Dark Victory created by Tim Sale and Jeph Loeb in May, 1997. The Hangman's identity was Sofia Falcone Gigante (her brother Mario later legally changes her name to Sofia Gigante). Despite being a wheelchair user and wearing a neck brace (even disclosing to Batman she can't use the bathroom without assistance) from the events at the end of The Long Halloween, she somehow regained her strength. She only used the wheelchair as a ruse. When she almost kills Two-Face with the noose, she quotes her father Carmine: "You're never stronger than when your enemies think you're weak." Then telling Two-Face, "Nobody looked beyond the woman in the wheelchair!"
